Prince Harry and wife Meghan arrive in the UK as they make a fresh start in Britain

Prince Harry and his wife Meghan landed in the United Kingdom on Wednesday, as reported by U.K. media, marking their return to Britain following six years in the United States. The couple's arrival follows their surprise announcement to fans and critics that they would be making a fresh start in Britain. Their private charter flight from Van Nuys, California, touched down at Birmingham International Airport around noon, according to flight tracking websites.

The children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, 5, have already enrolled in British schools and are set to begin their classes in September. A family residence outside of London has been chosen for the family to reside in, though the exact location remains undisclosed. Prince Harry's spokesperson did not provide a comment. The couple severed ties with the royal family over a year ago, citing insensitive treatment and allegations of racism and media manipulation.

Tensions with Prince William, the heir to the throne, continue, while relations with King Charles III, Harry's father, appear to have improved in recent months. The royal family's patriarch is undergoing cancer treatment. Harry expressed a desire to reconcile with his family, particularly to give his children the opportunity to meet their grandfather, a desire that was fulfilled when the family visited King Charles at his Highgrove Estate last month.
